Come work on the Amazon Prime Air Team! We’re looking for a Sr Systems Engineer with software experience who combines superb technical, analytical, and operational capabilities with a demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively. Shape the future of autonomous flight technology. At Amazon Prime Air, we're building revolutionary perception systems that enable drones to see, understand, and navigate the world around them. Our perception team is at the forefront of developing the "eyes and brain" of autonomous drones that can safely detect and avoid aircraft, precisely localize themselves, and navigate complex environments during delivery operations.
Job Responsibility:
Translate complex operational requirements into detailed system and subsystem specifications for our vision-based perception systems
Bridge the gap between perception algorithms (computer vision, radar processing, ML) and their integration with the broader flight control and autonomy stack
Develop comprehensive requirements documentation that meets aviation certification standards while enabling rapid innovation
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (ML engineers, computer vision specialists, hardware engineers) to design and validate perception system architectures
Lead technical reviews to ensure perception systems meet performance, safety, and reliability requirements
Drive continuous improvement in how we develop and certify perception systems for autonomous flight
Requirements:
Experience developing requirements and system architectures for perception systems in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or aerospace applications
Strong background in computer vision, sensor fusion, or machine learning applications
Proven ability to decompose high-level requirements into detailed system specifications
Experience with regulatory certification processes (FAA or similar) is highly valuable
Exceptional analytical thinking and technical documentation skills
Collaborative mindset with the ability to work across disciplines
6+ years of designing or architecting (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
Experience leading the design, build and deployment of complex and performant (reliable and scalable) software solutions in production
6+ years of systems design, software development, operations, automation, and process improvement experience
